1 00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:08,148 A masquerade of power, 2 00:00:08,190 --> 00:00:10,038 veld in ambition, 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,768 draped in the illusion of progress. 4 00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:17,043 Jared and Jason, estranged brothers, 5 00:00:18,420 --> 00:00:20,958 two halves of a fractured legacy. 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,638 Will they rediscover the light 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,040 that once illuminated their dreams 8 00:00:24,067 --> 00:00:26,358 to find a path forward? 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,203 Only time will tell. 10 00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:32,436 They sit, back straight, eyes gleaming, 11 00:00:32,478 --> 00:00:35,973 lips curled in some promises spun from gold. 12 00:00:36,990 --> 00:00:39,018 But gold tarnishes. 13 00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:41,523 And beneath it, only rust. 14 00:00:43,110 --> 00:00:45,303 They tell you they are building the future. 15 00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:51,759 That the past is an anchor dragging this city into ruin. 16 00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:53,523 But listen closely. 17 00:00:55,050 --> 00:00:56,980 Progress is their gospel 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,920 and they are its prophets 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,773 preaching salvation to those willing to sell their souls. 20 00:01:06,030 --> 00:01:08,433 He speaks of towers that kiss the sky. 21 00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,380 Cities woven from glass and steel 22 00:01:12,570 --> 00:01:14,403 where even the sun's artificial. 23 00:01:16,350 --> 00:01:19,353 A paradise at the click of a button. 24 00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:21,670 But tell me. 25 00:01:23,010 --> 00:01:25,593 What's his paradise without the breath of life? 26 00:01:26,970 --> 00:01:28,593 Without the heartbeat of art? 27 00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:30,753 Of memory? 28 00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:35,973 She would have you believe that history is a relic, 29 00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:39,153 that beauty can be coded, 30 00:01:40,110 --> 00:01:44,553 that a city without its past is somehow more alive. 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,603 But a machine is not alive. 32 00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:51,993 A screen is not a soul. 33 00:01:53,250 --> 00:01:54,933 And a city without its artist, 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,533 its dreamers, its rebels? 35 00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:03,753 It's nothing more than a monument to the men who bought it. 36 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,823 She reminds you who built this empire, 37 00:02:10,112 --> 00:02:12,498 who holds the strings, 38 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:13,833 who decides the future. 39 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,478 But power built on the backs of others 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,938 does not stand forever. 41 00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:22,698 It shifts, it crumbles. 42 00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:25,060 And those who grasp at it too tightly 43 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,143 are always the first of all. 44 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,253 They laugh at the past. 45 00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:36,123 They snare at those who fight to hold onto it. 46 00:02:37,740 --> 00:02:40,203 But what they don't understand is this. 47 00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:43,638 History does not ask for permission. 48 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,468 It does not yield. 49 00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:47,260 It lingers in the cracks 50 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,108 and the whispers of those who remember. 51 00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:56,150 And when the time comes, it rises. 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,338 They offer illusions of power, 53 00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:00,018 shadows of control. 54 00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:01,060 But true power? 55 00:03:02,310 --> 00:03:06,588 True power is knowing the worth of what cannot be bought. 56 00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:10,053 It is standing when the world tells you to kneel. 57 00:03:11,070 --> 00:03:13,173 It is refusing to be erased. 58 00:03:14,250 --> 00:03:15,633 This is not just a dinner. 59 00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:17,973 Not just a deal. 60 00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:21,498 This is a reckoning. 61 00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:23,418 And no mask, no illusion, 62 00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:25,518 no promise of paradise 63 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,603 will save them from the truth. 64 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,080 I will guide you into the echoes of your innermost dreams. 65 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,273 My name is Elias Vale. 66 00:04:19,650 --> 00:04:21,258 Some call me an illusionist. 67 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,748 Others, a keeper of time. 68 00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:26,418 I am not here to cast bells, 69 00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:28,053 but to reveal hidden truths. 70 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:31,060 Jared invited me here tonight 71 00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:35,073 to show you his vision for the future. 72 00:04:37,132 --> 00:04:41,777 I will guide you into the echoes of your innermost dreams. 73 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,988 Every city has a heartbeat. 74 00:04:48,030 --> 00:04:50,298 Every light has a shadow. 75 00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:51,768 Decisions made here tonight 76 00:04:51,810 --> 00:04:54,130 will either reshape this place forever 77 00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:56,898 or reveal the cracks 78 00:04:56,940 --> 00:04:59,340 where the light is trying to get into all along. 79 00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:02,298 Time is a portal 80 00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:04,158 and my mere presence has been set 81 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,050 to thin the bells between the realms. 82 00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:12,153 You are the architects of tomorrow. 83 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:17,703 The dreamers, the builders, destroyers. 84 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,958 Each of you holds a snake 85 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,808 in the place that Jared Dunn has in the city. 86 00:05:23,850 --> 00:05:27,258 And together, we'll uncover the path 87 00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,081 that this city is meant to follow. 88 00:05:43,642 --> 00:05:46,758 Thank you all for being here tonight. 89 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,837 Nova Heights is more than a development 90 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:51,198 of luxury high rises. 91 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,543 It's the prototype of a smart city of tomorrow. 92 00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:58,713 A promise of progress and innovation. 93 00:06:00,330 --> 00:06:02,048 This entire building 94 00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:05,118 is a central location of our development. 95 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,973 We need to build here in order to make it a reality. 96 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,928 Elias is more than a magician. 97 00:06:14,970 --> 00:06:18,813 He has the unique ability to reveal what words alone cannot. 98 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,998 Many of you, including Mayor Rasheed, 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,998 have been working with our team for years. 100 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,898 But there are still some, like my brother Jason, 101 00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:32,193 who are struggling to see the full picture. 102 00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:38,568 Elias is here to help us step into that vision together. 103 00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:42,558 I trust that once you see what only he can show us 104 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,870 that we will be aligned 105 00:06:44,970 --> 00:06:47,943 and we will finally move forward together. 106 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,688 Why are we really here tonight, Jared? 107 00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,668 We're here to secure the future 108 00:06:55,710 --> 00:06:59,118 to make sure that the city doesn't fall behind. 109 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,603 The future, huh? 110 00:07:01,710 --> 00:07:02,658 A future where my wife 111 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:04,900 can no longer lead these kids through dance? 112 00:07:05,850 --> 00:07:07,080 Where the arts are no longer away for us 113 00:07:07,104 --> 00:07:08,823 to remember who we are? 114 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,768 This stage, this very theater has helped birth 115 00:07:12,810 --> 00:07:15,348 some of the greatest cultural revolutions, 116 00:07:15,390 --> 00:07:16,489 that we have transformed lives here 117 00:07:16,513 --> 00:07:18,753 with nothing but the power of art. 118 00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:26,853 We don't need high rises, Mr. Mayor. 119 00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:29,587 We need resources to help us rebuild 120 00:07:29,629 --> 00:07:31,878 what truly matters here. 121 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,338 Our legacy, our community, 122 00:07:34,380 --> 00:07:36,408 and what we fought for. 123 00:07:36,450 --> 00:07:37,450 Legacy? 124 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,608 It's a comforting lie 125 00:07:40,650 --> 00:07:42,933 that people tell themselves to feel relevant. 126 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:48,138 When I was younger, 127 00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:49,968 my grandmother said I had a gift 128 00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:52,623 for guiding the lost, the broken. 129 00:07:53,730 --> 00:07:57,558 I've made my fortune turning others' failures into power. 130 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,728 As a real estate tycoon, 131 00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:01,068 I see opportunity where others see decay. 132 00:08:01,110 --> 00:08:02,373 Jared knows that. 133 00:08:03,930 --> 00:08:07,218 People don't want to find their way. 134 00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:08,958 They want someone to lead them, 135 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,058 and that's where I come in. 136 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,488 I take what's been written off and I make it valuable. 137 00:08:13,530 --> 00:08:16,188 When Nova Heights rises, 138 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:18,198 we'll be defining its future. 139 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,698 You have a choice. 140 00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:23,555 Join us or we're forgotten in the shadows of what we build. 141 00:08:25,860 --> 00:08:30,408 As mayor of this city for the last 10 years, 142 00:08:30,450 --> 00:08:34,608 I've seen what happens when we refuse to evolve. 143 00:08:34,650 --> 00:08:36,948 Now, we're at a crossroads. 144 00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:41,538 We can't survive without growth. 145 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:44,538 You remember your brother, Jared? 146 00:08:44,580 --> 00:08:47,058 You once believed in this place. 147 00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,083 You danced right there on that stage. 148 00:08:51,690 --> 00:08:54,288 The three of us used to be so close. 149 00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:56,478 We all shared a dream. 150 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,068 What happened, Jared? 151 00:08:58,110 --> 00:09:00,198 My husband moved on because he realized 152 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,253 that some things are better left behind. 153 00:09:03,270 --> 00:09:05,778 That was a lifetime ago, Lucy. 154 00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:08,178 Look, people grow apart, 155 00:09:08,220 --> 00:09:11,448 and often times it's because they choose to grow up. 156 00:09:11,490 --> 00:09:14,868 This Art's District is stuck in the past. 157 00:09:14,910 --> 00:09:16,203 Nothing lasts forever. 158 00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:20,148 You are unrecognizable, man. 159 00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:23,028 There used to be something real in your eyes, 160 00:09:23,070 --> 00:09:24,963 but I don't see that anymore. 161 00:09:25,950 --> 00:09:28,893 You surrounded yourself with these suits. 162 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,180 They're like a black hole. 163 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:38,118 You always stay stuck in the past, Jason. 164 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,410 That's why we grew apart. 165 00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:41,718 Cities that don't evolve, 166 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,488 that don't build up like you, 167 00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:44,958 you leave them behind. 168 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,578 People move on. 169 00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:48,888 No one wants to stay where there's nothing left to grow. 170 00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:51,858 You'll push out the people who made this place. 171 00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:53,766 You are building a city that doesn't even have room 172 00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:55,990 for the people who made it worth being here. 173 00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:00,498 The sole build in this archaic, 174 00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:03,258 these spaces are dying breed. 175 00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:04,218 You brought us here 176 00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:06,618 under the same veil of manipulation and bribery 177 00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:08,358 you used for months 178 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,590 pushing us to hand over the keys 179 00:10:09,614 --> 00:10:12,258 so you can demolish the soul of our community. 180 00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:15,573 You can't build anything worthwhile without sacrifice. 181 00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:19,578 Sacrifice is easy to afford 182 00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,488 when you're not the one paying forward. 183 00:10:22,530 --> 00:10:23,568 Now, as mayor, 184 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:26,898 I answer to real people with real lives. 185 00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:28,218 I get it. 186 00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:30,198 We need funds to rebuild this city 187 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,078 into the thriving hub it once was, 188 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,608 but I also know 189 00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:37,818 we can't push out the community that built it 190 00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:41,238 just for high rises no one can afford. 191 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,523 Now, this is a complex issue. 192 00:10:45,540 --> 00:10:48,757 Mayor Rasheed, I understand the weight 193 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,348 of those real lives you're talking about. 194 00:10:51,390 --> 00:10:52,188 Let me assure you, 195 00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:56,088 my blueprint will do this design justice. 196 00:10:56,130 --> 00:10:58,128 My architecture is high art. 197 00:10:58,170 --> 00:11:01,788 The art center and the arts district won't be forgotten. 198 00:11:01,830 --> 00:11:04,713 It'll be reflected in the very structure of our design. 199 00:11:05,850 --> 00:11:08,208 The city moves beyond what's already here. 200 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,428 The people who breathe life into this place 201 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:12,858 won't even be able to afford to get near it. 202 00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:14,088 You're right, Jason. 203 00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,878 Signing these contracts isn't just about the building. 204 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,201 It's about leaving everything behind 205 00:11:18,225 --> 00:11:20,088 that's been holding you back. 206 00:11:20,130 --> 00:11:21,138 The failed dreams, 207 00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:22,698 the forgotten artists, 208 00:11:22,740 --> 00:11:24,228 all that vanish. 209 00:11:24,270 --> 00:11:25,353 What replaces it? 210 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,658 Money, influence, power. 211 00:11:29,700 --> 00:11:31,098 I've already worked with the mayor 212 00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:33,588 on fast tracking the rezoning proposal. 213 00:11:33,630 --> 00:11:36,258 The city council won't be a problem after tonight. 214 00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:39,483 But without your signature, this whole project stalls. 215 00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:42,258 I've seen it before. 216 00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,168 Rundown neighborhoods, abandoned buildings, 217 00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:49,068 all revitalized with this type of development. 218 00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:52,923 This is what we desperately need. 219 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:56,688 You'd agree with that, wouldn't you, Sophia? 220 00:11:56,730 --> 00:12:00,213 The only way forward is up. 221 00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:03,288 My job isn't to take any sides. 222 00:12:03,330 --> 00:12:06,228 It's to report and to bring national attention 223 00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:10,818 to the decisions facing the future of this historic center. 224 00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,243 Not to push an agenda. 225 00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:15,146 The real question 226 00:12:15,188 --> 00:12:18,828 isn't whether you all will sign the contracts tonight 227 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:21,378 or if there will be change. 228 00:12:21,420 --> 00:12:23,238 The question is, 229 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,208 is it the kind of change that you plan for? 230 00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:29,598 Or the kind that you're forced into? 231 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,998 You see, history doesn't build cities. 232 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,528 Sacrifice does. 233 00:12:33,570 --> 00:12:36,507 And if you're too afraid to let go of the past, 234 00:12:36,549 --> 00:12:39,603 then you do not deserve to build the future. 235 00:12:40,770 --> 00:12:43,968 So we just throw away everything that makes us human? 236 00:12:44,010 --> 00:12:47,268 You really think progress is worth losing our soul. 237 00:12:47,310 --> 00:12:48,408 You wanna build a new city, 238 00:12:48,450 --> 00:12:49,608 but at what cost? 239 00:12:49,650 --> 00:12:52,728 The largest quantum computing system ever integrated 240 00:12:52,770 --> 00:12:54,348 right here where we're sitting, 241 00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:55,578 it's the control center 242 00:12:55,620 --> 00:12:58,728 for the world's first fully operational smart city. 243 00:12:58,770 --> 00:13:01,398 Nova Heights isn't about replacing humanity, 244 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,508 it's about upgrades... 245 00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:03,828 Where is the humanity in a city 246 00:13:03,870 --> 00:13:06,768 that leaves zero room for the people to dream? 247 00:13:06,810 --> 00:13:07,848 The difference is stark 248 00:13:07,890 --> 00:13:11,298 when you understand the functionality of a smart city. 249 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:12,976 Our technology will create a space 250 00:13:13,018 --> 00:13:15,858 that helps you become a better version of yourself. 251 00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:16,691 Better for who? 252 00:13:16,733 --> 00:13:18,588 This is the same old story. 253 00:13:18,630 --> 00:13:21,018 Empty ideals in no substance. 254 00:13:21,060 --> 00:13:24,708 Big plans that won't fix anything and only cause more harm. 255 00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:26,178 How do you all not see that? 256 00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:28,917 You could sell it to them, but I'm not buying it. 257 00:14:01,853 --> 00:14:04,603 Ah, focus on the ticking hands. 258 00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:11,133 The time you've cherished, 259 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:14,220 the time you've squandered. 260 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,248 Before you can experience Jared's vision for the future, 261 00:14:19,290 --> 00:14:20,890 you must first be immersed 262 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,603 in the forgotten memories of the past. 263 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,003 Let me draw you into the dreams very deep with that. 264 00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:33,198 Together we will slip into the bells 265 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,923 of time's grand illusion. 266 00:14:38,158 --> 00:14:42,618 Let us go back to a time where the promise of tomorrow 267 00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:45,183 was met by the dreamers in this room. 268 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,438 Welcome to the moment the art district was born. 269 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,563 This theater. 270 00:14:54,170 --> 00:14:56,984 Ah, it stands on sacred ground 271 00:14:57,026 --> 00:14:59,793 that indigenous communities once gathered. 272 00:15:02,340 --> 00:15:04,006 Maybe that's why the performances on this stage 273 00:15:04,030 --> 00:15:05,193 are so powerful. 274 00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:09,558 But did we ever ask permission 275 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,423 of the hands that planted the trees that we cut? 276 00:15:13,380 --> 00:15:16,158 Or did we just bulldoze through that community, too, 277 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,350 thinking we were creating something better? 278 00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:21,940 It haunts me. 279 00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:26,403 This cycle of destruction. 280 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:31,430 'Cause my designs are tied to it. 281 00:15:31,472 --> 00:15:33,213 They say it's evolution. 282 00:15:34,530 --> 00:15:37,030 How do you move on when the lost never leaves you? 283 00:15:40,290 --> 00:15:43,040 You know, trees are conscious of the books they become. 284 00:15:44,070 --> 00:15:46,571 Stones are aware of the mountains that form them 285 00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:49,278 and the oceans that shape them. 286 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,807 The real architects aren't people. 287 00:15:51,849 --> 00:15:56,538 They're the earth and the wind and the water, 288 00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:57,993 the shifting earth. 289 00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:04,900 The weight of those ancient forces 290 00:16:05,910 --> 00:16:08,148 weights beneath everything we've made 291 00:16:08,190 --> 00:16:11,834 to remind us that nothing we ever created is permanent. 292 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,543 I remember my first project, a museum. 293 00:16:20,610 --> 00:16:23,493 Yeah, I thought everything I designed would endure. 294 00:16:25,376 --> 00:16:29,283 Oh, I was young, naive. 295 00:16:31,020 --> 00:16:33,678 I thought if I built it from the heart, 296 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,363 it would last forever. 297 00:16:35,405 --> 00:16:39,587 Now, I'm not so sure love is enough to make something last. 298 00:16:39,629 --> 00:16:41,170 How do you choose 299 00:16:43,050 --> 00:16:45,948 between what is here 300 00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:48,288 and what must come next? 301 00:16:48,330 --> 00:16:49,683 We've planned everything, 302 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,603 projections, approvals, investments, 303 00:16:55,710 --> 00:16:57,678 but after what Elias just showed us, 304 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,643 I'm not sure the vision will hold. 305 00:17:00,630 --> 00:17:04,113 And if it doesn't, what's our contingency? 306 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,393 I know what you feel, Jared. 307 00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:14,838 That hollow wake? 308 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,668 The one that nothing can fill? 309 00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:18,348 That's where I thrive. 310 00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:20,478 In the doubt, in the fear. 311 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,058 You stay focused on the money, the power, 312 00:17:23,100 --> 00:17:25,998 and I'll make you the man the city will never forget. 313 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,163 But if you let anyone pull you back to who you were, 314 00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:31,413 if you let them weaken you, 315 00:17:32,730 --> 00:17:33,753 you'll be nothing. 316 00:17:34,650 --> 00:17:36,738 You'll be useless to me, 317 00:17:36,780 --> 00:17:38,568 useless to the city. 318 00:17:38,610 --> 00:17:40,953 You can't afford to make that mistake tonight. 319 00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:48,408 Elias was supposed to show them my vision. 320 00:17:48,450 --> 00:17:50,403 This wasn't suppose to happen tonight. 321 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,998 If Elias isn't gonna show them, 322 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,393 then we need to tell them. 323 00:17:55,230 --> 00:17:57,513 Time does not yield to power, 324 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,883 nor does it bow to weak. 325 00:18:00,870 --> 00:18:02,088 Time is a mirror. 326 00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:05,478 They stand before me tonight weaving their illusions. 327 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,443 They carefully construct the truths. 328 00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:10,518 But what they don't realize 329 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,878 is that my gifts does not serve illusion. 330 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,943 It shatters it. 331 00:18:16,290 --> 00:18:19,428 This watch, this artifact, 332 00:18:19,470 --> 00:18:20,693 was not forged in their world 333 00:18:20,735 --> 00:18:23,988 of ticking clocks and numbered days. 334 00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:26,283 It was bestowed by forces unseen, 335 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:28,540 meant not to measure time 336 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,423 but to reveal it. 337 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,498 And when enough seekers gather, 338 00:18:33,540 --> 00:18:35,988 when enough eyes are willing to see, 339 00:18:36,030 --> 00:18:38,238 the veil thins, 340 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,278 the hidden truths rise, 341 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,078 the forgotten dreams stir, 342 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:45,348 and the walls built from lies begin to fracture. 343 00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:48,198 Time is not an instrument of control. 344 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,098 It is a portal. 345 00:18:49,140 --> 00:18:51,318 And once it is open, 346 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:52,923 there is no turning back. 347 00:18:55,410 --> 00:18:57,618 It'll be the top hour structure, 348 00:18:57,660 --> 00:18:59,208 of global reach. 349 00:18:59,250 --> 00:19:02,058 You think we don't have global reach now? 350 00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,638 Moving forward isn't about more tech. 351 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,188 It's about giving people the space to create, 352 00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:09,468 making room for the art that hasn't been made, 353 00:19:09,510 --> 00:19:11,748 the voices that haven't been heard. 354 00:19:11,790 --> 00:19:14,208 None of that happens through machines. 355 00:19:14,250 --> 00:19:15,486 It happens through human connection, 356 00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:17,658 the very thing your plans would erase. 357 00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:20,298 I've seen lives change here. 358 00:19:20,340 --> 00:19:22,788 I've seen kids walk in broken 359 00:19:22,830 --> 00:19:23,748 and leave with something 360 00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:25,908 they thought they could never have. 361 00:19:25,950 --> 00:19:27,048 And that's hope. 362 00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:29,598 You remember, don't you, Jared? 363 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,218 When it was just us, 364 00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:33,078 it wasn't about the deal. 365 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:36,558 It was about the dancers, the dreamers, our mural. 366 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,748 Change is inevitable. 367 00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:41,748 It's the only constant, and it's necessary. 368 00:19:41,790 --> 00:19:46,188 Sometimes the change we need isn't in the world around us. 369 00:19:46,230 --> 00:19:49,863 Sometimes the change we need is within ourselves, brother. 370 00:19:53,100 --> 00:19:56,718 When the music stops and the space is gone, 371 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,960 we're left with nothing. 372 00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:00,332 Instead of using that money 373 00:20:00,374 --> 00:20:04,173 to restore what this place was always meant to be, 374 00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:06,724 you wanna use it to replace it with something 375 00:20:06,748 --> 00:20:09,873 that will never hold the meaning that it once had. 376 00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:12,758 Sometimes the hardest part of progress 377 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,403 is what we choose to forget. 378 00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:18,753 There's one more memory we must revisit, 379 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,733 a moment that might reveal what's truly at stake, 380 00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:26,673 what we gain, 381 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,763 and what we risk losing. 382 00:20:30,630 --> 00:20:31,683 The process. 383 00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:35,313 The arts district wasn't just a place, 384 00:20:36,562 --> 00:20:37,653 it was a promise. 385 00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:41,313 But promises like anything are fragile. 386 00:20:42,660 --> 00:20:43,983 Just like families. 387 00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:46,983 Just like the truths we buried to survive. 388 00:20:48,690 --> 00:20:50,448 There was a time when we all came together 389 00:20:50,490 --> 00:20:51,600 to fight for something we believed 390 00:20:51,624 --> 00:20:53,493 was a life life for our city. 391 00:21:24,990 --> 00:21:26,013 I remember a boy, 392 00:21:27,510 --> 00:21:30,423 I must've been no more than 14 or 15 years old, 393 00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:32,460 standing in front of the mural 394 00:21:32,490 --> 00:21:33,940 we painted that first summer. 395 00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,233 That boy's hands were stained with paint, 396 00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:39,723 eyes wide with wonder. 397 00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:43,758 He said, "Maybe if I make something beautiful", 398 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,823 people will see me. 399 00:21:46,110 --> 00:21:47,817 "Maybe they'll stop looking away." 400 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,173 That boy's name was Jason. 401 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,608 And I remember another boy, 402 00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:02,178 older, standing behind him. 403 00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:04,361 His fists clenched as if the weight of the world 404 00:23:04,403 --> 00:23:05,973 had already taught him to fight. 405 00:23:07,050 --> 00:23:08,930 His eyes had already shown him enough heartache 406 00:23:08,963 --> 00:23:10,623 for nine lifetimes. 407 00:23:12,029 --> 00:23:13,623 That boy's name was Jared. 408 00:23:16,350 --> 00:23:17,397 We were commissioned by the city 409 00:23:17,421 --> 00:23:19,503 to paint that mural that first summer. 410 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,400 But halfway through, Jared abandoned it. 411 00:23:23,670 --> 00:23:25,083 He abandoned his dreams. 412 00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:28,953 Jason, he stayed, 413 00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:32,403 finishing the mural for the whole city to see, 414 00:23:33,420 --> 00:23:35,853 a mural that spanned an entire block. 415 00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:41,673 That mural, our first mural, still stands. 416 00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,883 Two brothers. 417 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,693 One who found his voice in art, 418 00:23:49,590 --> 00:23:51,903 and another who hid his behind ambition, 419 00:23:53,010 --> 00:23:54,203 both drawn to the same spark, 420 00:23:54,245 --> 00:23:57,588 but two afraid to stand together in its light. 421 00:23:57,630 --> 00:24:00,348 The legacy of two brothers broken 422 00:24:00,390 --> 00:24:02,259 in the very place it was born. 423 00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:41,388 Our district built a movement, 424 00:25:41,430 --> 00:25:43,458 a promise that art could heal, 425 00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:44,988 that it could unite us, 426 00:25:45,030 --> 00:25:46,593 that it could change lives. 427 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,958 We celebrate more than creativity here. 428 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,078 We celebrate freedom, resilience, 429 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,743 and the power of community. 430 00:25:58,110 --> 00:25:59,223 The stage. 431 00:26:01,830 --> 00:26:03,303 It was our sanctuary. 432 00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:05,763 Our canvas. 433 00:26:07,530 --> 00:26:08,530 Our home. 434 00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:19,113 At first summer when the mural went up, oh, 435 00:26:20,130 --> 00:26:22,803 took me back to a time full of promise. 436 00:26:24,330 --> 00:26:28,938 Over the years, I've witnessed movements rise and fall. 437 00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:31,323 Changes that have shaped this place. 438 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,733 Some for the better, some for the worse. 439 00:26:37,050 --> 00:26:39,318 But one thing I know for certain 440 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:43,998 is the price of holding on too tightly 441 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,838 can be greater than the price of moving forward. 442 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080 Mayor, we can't demolish this historic place 443 00:26:50,122 --> 00:26:51,843 without consequences. 444 00:26:52,710 --> 00:26:55,163 We're putting billions into this plan, 445 00:26:55,205 --> 00:26:59,921 and this building is the only thing standing in the way. 446 00:26:59,963 --> 00:27:03,108 This building isn't just brick and mortar. 447 00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:04,417 It's history. 448 00:27:04,459 --> 00:27:06,108 It's community. 449 00:27:06,150 --> 00:27:09,468 It's everything that people like you can't put a price on. 450 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:11,043 Everything has a price, 451 00:27:12,420 --> 00:27:15,589 enough to make sure you're all comfortable for a long time. 452 00:27:15,631 --> 00:27:17,958 You think we sell out our community? 453 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,578 Careful, Jason. 454 00:27:19,620 --> 00:27:21,198 You're talking like you have a choice. 455 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,298 What's that supposed to mean? 456 00:27:23,340 --> 00:27:26,943 Let's just say accidents happen. 457 00:27:28,740 --> 00:27:30,063 What if a fire started? 458 00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:34,428 The blades tears through this building, 459 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:36,483 spreads through their entire block? 460 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,698 By morning, every art piece, 461 00:27:40,740 --> 00:27:44,703 every instrument, gone. 462 00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:49,263 Reduce to ash in one clean sweep. 463 00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,518 Let's just say 464 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,938 a little accidental fire can change everything. 465 00:27:55,980 --> 00:27:57,123 You'd burn it down? 466 00:27:58,500 --> 00:27:59,780 Dorian, if this is the direction 467 00:27:59,805 --> 00:28:01,158 you're planning on taking it, 468 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,858 you must know my firm can't be involved. 469 00:28:03,900 --> 00:28:06,153 Fire doesn't just destroy. 470 00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:08,433 It reveals. 471 00:28:09,630 --> 00:28:10,630 It's renewal. 472 00:28:12,962 --> 00:28:15,648 It shows what's worth saving. 473 00:28:15,690 --> 00:28:16,866 That's the thing about progress. 474 00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:18,693 It's not kind to the sentimental. 475 00:28:20,220 --> 00:28:21,918 It strips away the excess 476 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,585 and it clears what's holding you back. 477 00:28:23,627 --> 00:28:28,428 Let the past burn and we'll build something stronger. 478 00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:30,510 Or you could hold on 479 00:28:30,552 --> 00:28:32,463 and let the fire consume you too, 480 00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:35,058 and watch history forget you. 481 00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:37,923 Look, everyone just calm down. 482 00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:41,748 No one's talking about burning down anything. 483 00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:44,598 Let me offer you a glimpse of what lies ahead. 484 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,538 The future as Jared envisions it, 485 00:28:47,580 --> 00:28:48,768 it's a promise. 486 00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:50,808 It's weight that it house. 487 00:28:50,850 --> 00:28:52,758 The future isn't just something you see. 488 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,543 It's something you feel. 489 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,603 Something you understand. 490 00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:01,563 And all of you, including Jared, 491 00:29:02,610 --> 00:29:04,488 deserves a chance to experience it, 492 00:29:04,530 --> 00:29:06,318 not just as an idea, 493 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,073 but as it truly will be. 494 00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:10,630 I can see it 495 00:29:12,030 --> 00:29:15,948 as if I've lived in this future 496 00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:19,533 we built in Nova Heights. 497 00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:24,513 And it's nothing like what we thought it would be. 498 00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:29,613 This gleaning smart city. 499 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,993 I believed it was the answer, 500 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,598 but what we built something 501 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,263 so lifeless, so sterile, 502 00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:48,873 and it erased everything that made us human. 503 00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:52,090 And in the end? 504 00:29:53,580 --> 00:29:55,293 We lost ourselves. 505 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,173 What we created is a world without wonder. 506 00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:07,563 This, this is all that's left. 507 00:30:08,444 --> 00:30:10,908 A tiny fragile reminder 508 00:30:10,950 --> 00:30:15,363 that magic once lived in our city. 509 00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:18,898 I remember someone telling me 510 00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:23,940 that dragon flies used to be mighty fiery dragons, 511 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,278 but they chose to shed their flames 512 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,413 to become delicate creatures. 513 00:30:32,460 --> 00:30:35,980 Their iridescent wing shimmering like whispers 514 00:30:36,916 --> 00:30:38,283 of a forgotten truth. 515 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280 They remind us 516 00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:46,743 that fear is just an illusion. 517 00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:52,728 And love has the power to reshape 518 00:30:52,770 --> 00:30:55,060 even the fiercest of flames 519 00:30:56,670 --> 00:30:58,053 into something beautiful. 520 00:30:59,700 --> 00:31:02,478 When I first ran for office, 521 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,673 I thought progress was a straight path. 522 00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:08,980 But leadership? 523 00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:15,470 It's about standing firm in the dark when no one else will. 524 00:31:16,139 --> 00:31:18,948 I'm done standing on the sidelines 525 00:31:18,990 --> 00:31:23,298 watching us trade what's sacred for what's easy. 526 00:31:23,340 --> 00:31:24,363 I've had enough. 527 00:31:26,490 --> 00:31:27,783 Enough of the bribery, 528 00:31:29,070 --> 00:31:34,068 the backroom deals you bankrolled Mayor Rasheed's campaign 529 00:31:34,110 --> 00:31:36,738 and you've line the pockets of city council members. 530 00:31:36,780 --> 00:31:38,898 You've greased the palms of city planners. 531 00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:41,688 Hell, you've even picked your own regulators 532 00:31:41,730 --> 00:31:45,465 only to turn around and own them. 533 00:31:45,507 --> 00:31:46,507 And for what? 534 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,143 For a city built on favors instead of integrity? 535 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,911 You frame it as progress, 536 00:31:55,953 --> 00:31:59,628 but it's just another machine to make the rich richer 537 00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:02,643 and the voiceless disappear. 538 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:07,308 And me, God, help me. 539 00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:10,038 You brought me here on the same playbook. 540 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,473 I've spent years rationalizing these designs. 541 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,178 And Jared, let me tell you, 542 00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:19,878 time is something you can't buy. 543 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,508 It's something you cannot get back. 544 00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:25,061 You've wasted enough of it on a plan 545 00:32:25,103 --> 00:32:27,258 that's been rotting from the inside. 546 00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:30,363 And after everything Elias has showed us tonight, 547 00:32:31,350 --> 00:32:34,413 you can't sit there and pretend like you don't feel it. 548 00:32:35,730 --> 00:32:39,213 Look at Jason, your own brother. 549 00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:43,758 Jared, this is not about business. 550 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,728 This is about people's lives. 551 00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:49,143 And if you can't do it for them, 552 00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:52,473 then by God, do it for your own bloodline. 553 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,673 Because if your family isn't enough, 554 00:32:58,350 --> 00:32:59,703 then whatever will stop. 555 00:33:01,380 --> 00:33:02,380 Bloodline? 556 00:33:04,230 --> 00:33:07,563 Jason made his choice and I made mine. 557 00:33:08,550 --> 00:33:12,303 Family is just circumstances and circumstances change. 558 00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:17,028 Look, you all can cling on to the past if you want to. 559 00:33:17,070 --> 00:33:20,028 But when the city moves forward, and it will, 560 00:33:20,070 --> 00:33:21,126 the only thing that will matter 561 00:33:21,150 --> 00:33:22,983 is who had the power to shape it. 562 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,120 Power? 563 00:33:26,010 --> 00:33:28,818 Is that all you see when you look at the city, 564 00:33:28,860 --> 00:33:30,348 when you walk in streets, 565 00:33:30,390 --> 00:33:32,343 hear its music, feel its history? 566 00:33:34,740 --> 00:33:36,948 You don't feel anything, do you? 567 00:33:36,990 --> 00:33:40,743 Just numbers, just leverage. 568 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,758 You talk about the future 569 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,858 like it's some machine you can program, 570 00:33:45,900 --> 00:33:49,218 like the past doesn't post beneath every brick laid here. 571 00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:51,318 But no matter how many buildings you put up, 572 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,449 how many people you push out, 573 00:33:52,473 --> 00:33:54,678 this city remembers. 574 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,588 The streets, the walls, the air, 575 00:33:57,630 --> 00:34:00,498 it holds the echoes of what was. 576 00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:05,538 And one day, when you finally stop to listen, 577 00:34:05,580 --> 00:34:08,478 you'll realize the only thing you've built is a void. 578 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,723 And by then there won't be anyone left 579 00:34:09,747 --> 00:34:10,818 to pull you out of it. 580 00:34:10,860 --> 00:34:11,860 Lucy's right. 581 00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,648 I have spent years trying to reach you, 582 00:34:15,690 --> 00:34:17,406 trying to remind you of the kid who used to dream 583 00:34:17,430 --> 00:34:19,788 about things that actually mattered. 584 00:34:19,830 --> 00:34:21,918 And not just to investors, 585 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,478 not just to people of power, 586 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:24,603 but to the people. 587 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,683 But, maybe you're not that kid anymore. 588 00:34:30,630 --> 00:34:31,758 Maybe you are just a man 589 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,663 about a blueprint in the bottom line. 590 00:34:34,590 --> 00:34:36,963 And if that's all you are, 591 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,037 well, I don't know what's left for me to even fight for. 592 00:34:42,079 --> 00:34:45,378 Through this vessel we call time, 593 00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:46,211 we come to understand 594 00:34:46,253 --> 00:34:49,068 that the past and the future are not separate. 595 00:34:49,110 --> 00:34:50,110 They are connected 596 00:34:51,150 --> 00:34:54,273 by something far deeper than we can see or touch, 597 00:34:56,550 --> 00:34:59,463 within the realm of our own souls. 598 00:35:01,230 --> 00:35:03,168 And tonight, Jared, 599 00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:05,028 is time you've remembered. 600 00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:06,670 I thought it was just a dream, 601 00:35:07,590 --> 00:35:09,198 a glimpse of what could be, 602 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:12,048 a place so clean, so perfect, 603 00:35:12,090 --> 00:35:15,063 that it felt unbreakable. 604 00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:17,740 But it wasn't. 605 00:35:18,660 --> 00:35:20,178 It wasn't a vision of the future. 606 00:35:20,220 --> 00:35:22,623 It was a reflection of what I become. 607 00:35:23,550 --> 00:35:26,388 Instead of fighting the courage to create, 608 00:35:26,430 --> 00:35:28,743 I gave in to the fear of failure. 609 00:35:30,930 --> 00:35:34,383 That moment at the mural, I could see it so clearly. 610 00:35:35,610 --> 00:35:39,078 That was the day that I walked away from my dreams. 611 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,785 The distance I created between myself 612 00:35:40,827 --> 00:35:42,723 and everything I once believed in. 613 00:35:44,693 --> 00:35:48,697 That was the foundation Nova Heights was built on, 614 00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:51,243 not a city of my future, 615 00:35:52,170 --> 00:35:53,883 but a monument to my fear. 616 00:35:56,712 --> 00:35:59,643 That's the story you're telling yourself now. 617 00:36:01,133 --> 00:36:04,188 That fear held you back? 618 00:36:04,230 --> 00:36:07,608 No, Jared, you built everything on that fear. 619 00:36:07,650 --> 00:36:11,208 It's what makes you successful, ruthless, decisive. 620 00:36:11,250 --> 00:36:13,330 The man sitting here in front of me isn't a failure. 621 00:36:13,358 --> 00:36:15,438 He's a man who knew when to stop dreaming 622 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,668 and start building. 623 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:17,796 You think you lost yourself? 624 00:36:17,820 --> 00:36:18,858 You didn't. 625 00:36:18,900 --> 00:36:21,408 You became exactly who you were meant to be. 626 00:36:21,450 --> 00:36:23,148 Untethered, free from guilt, 627 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:25,578 free from all the weight of trying to be good enough. 628 00:36:25,620 --> 00:36:27,558 That's what saved you. 629 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,950 That's what gave you power. 630 00:36:31,350 --> 00:36:34,593 Don't let them convince you to feel again. 631 00:36:35,940 --> 00:36:37,263 Because if you do, 632 00:36:38,610 --> 00:36:43,008 all the cracks that you've buried will split wide open 633 00:36:43,050 --> 00:36:46,884 and you'll remember everything that you've been running from 634 00:36:46,926 --> 00:36:48,153 and it will destroy you. 635 00:36:51,930 --> 00:36:53,631 Stay empty, Jared, 636 00:36:53,673 --> 00:36:55,563 and I'll keep you strong. 637 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,634 Stay soulless and I'll keep you in control. 638 00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:10,233 It's strange, isn't it? 639 00:37:11,730 --> 00:37:15,183 We spend our whole lives chasing what we think is for us. 640 00:37:17,550 --> 00:37:20,380 Forgetting that what is for you 641 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,803 will always find you even if you run from it. 642 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,716 But you gotta be willing to pull the layers back, 643 00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:32,223 pull the veil back and remember who you are. 644 00:37:34,170 --> 00:37:36,408 The question isn't whether this city can survive 645 00:37:36,450 --> 00:37:38,073 without its soul, Jared. 646 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,238 The question is whether you can. 647 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,338 Enough of the drama. 648 00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:46,668 You're all clinging to a city that doesn't exist anymore. 649 00:37:46,710 --> 00:37:50,148 Exactly, this isn't some grand moral quest. 650 00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:54,078 For Jared, this is just reality. 651 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,068 Jared, get them back on track now 652 00:37:58,110 --> 00:37:59,748 because if you don't, 653 00:37:59,790 --> 00:38:01,848 everything that we have built, 654 00:38:01,890 --> 00:38:04,353 and I mean everything, will collapse. 655 00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:08,163 We have to move forward with this. 656 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,440 No. 657 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,598 For years I've been convincing myself 658 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,758 that this was for the greater good, 659 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,333 but now I see the facade. 660 00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,868 It was a mess, 661 00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:26,238 one I head behind for too long. 662 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,338 I should have been building something real, 663 00:38:28,380 --> 00:38:29,913 something that can endure. 664 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,718 Then maybe I wouldn't have lost what matters most, 665 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,533 especially between brothers, 666 00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:40,990 between me and you, Jason. 667 00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:07,023 This belongs to you. 668 00:39:13,410 --> 00:39:16,323 The future doesn't belong to me. 669 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,283 The future belongs to all of us. 670 00:39:28,020 --> 00:39:31,428 So time finds its rightful place 671 00:39:31,470 --> 00:39:36,470 in the hands of those who cherish the sacred space. 672 00:39:38,010 --> 00:39:40,818 The dreamers, the music makers, 673 00:39:40,860 --> 00:39:42,318 and the visionaries 674 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:46,200 wave enough to illuminate the world with their light.
